People on this site post WAY too many abortion debates.

We have all heard the arguments for and against abortion.


Pro-choice: Women get to choose if they want to keep on burdening themselves with a child, the fetus does not count as a human being, why should a woman bring a child into the world if it's just going to be a painful and miserable life, etc.


Pro-life: The fetus does count as a human being therefore to kill it would be murder, if women don't want a baby they should be more careful, etc.


I think it's obvious that these arguments are going absolutely nowhere . As humans, we are extremely stubborn and very rarely admit we're wrong, especially on the internet. Whenever someone posts a "Should abortion be illegal” argument, all the Pro-choice people post on the disagree side and the Pro-life people post on the agree side. Both of them use the exact same arguments over and over, and no one is convinced of anything. Therefore, I propose we start posting NEW arguments for a change.

If more of us were pro-choice, we would have aborted the topic a while ago.

I think the prochoicers have clearly won this debate several times, and I think it is weird that prolifers continue to attack just to end up being defeated.

Yeah there are a fair number of them. It's a hot topic. But, ironically, that means this debate is also an abortion debate. Albeit a debate about abortion debates, but still under the same umbrella.

Haha, yes, unfortunately it does seem to be turning into that.

I find it very repetitive and unproductive. I'm someone that is right in the middle. I'm completely torn and could be persuaded either way. There's never really been a persuasive argument on here either way in my opinion. Maybe we should move on.

Perhaps if the politicians didn't try to pass more than 1,000 bills about a woman's reproductive rights just last year this subject would be old. We know that the majority of Americans support choice. The politicians have yet to catch up. Until they do, it is a viable argument.

What is it that you are torn on exactly?

Are you torn on the science about when and how a life begins?

Are you torn on when a human beings rights should begin?

Are you torn on the whole idea of rights?

What are the specific things your are torn on?

Side: I agree

Its difficult for me to think that if any other creature had the facilities that a fetus of 20 weeks has then we wouldn't worry about exterminating it to make a human right better. What a strong with is that the fetus has a potential for life and whether or not this potential is significant in saying that a mother should feel morally obigated to continue with the pregnancy (I am quite sure that abortion should not be illegal).

Furthermore, I struggle to get a grasp on what a fetus is like. I'd be interesting to know what characteristics it actually has when it is aborted.

It's to amuse Chuz. This site goes through phases, I think.

I'm so flattered... but it's not really about me.

If it were, I wouldn't be posting using an alias.

Side: I agree

I agree, but what made me laugh was that even though this was a popular debate, all of the other popular debates showing on the home page were about abortion... It was hilarious.

I see one coming up every minute. There are more debates of "Like my new pic" crap and that is annoying

Very true, I'm getting tired of it, mostly because people no longer debate these things, they just get hysterical and shout at each other.

Way too many is insinuating that they are being posted with no interest in them. The fact that people are always commenting on them is evidence that their is not too many, but instead there are just enough.

Abortion is a topic that has no one definite answer and the possible answers are worthy of debate.

This is some thing we can agree on.

Many women think it's a legal right to kill their children with abortion and people like me see it as a crime against humanity.

Frankly, I'm surprised there are not even more debates created about it.

Side: I disagree

Not sure it is a legal right to have an abortion. I don't think it says that anywhere in law. It is merely that we all have a right to do whatever we want that is not illegal.

I am not saying people are not interested in it, or that it is not a vitally important topic. It would be one thing if people were presenting new arguments for the subject, but the fact is they're not.

I guess that's true. The definition of insanity is to try the same thing continuously expecting different results. These abortion debates always go the same way evidenced by the fact that they keep getting made.

I read a lot of the other debates before I joined this site and you are wrong when you say that no new arguments are being presented.

Who before me used the legal language of the fetal homicide laws and the Unborn Victims of violence act to make a point that legalized abortion is inconsistent with those laws?

Who else pointed to anencephalic babies and their legal cases to argue against the claims that sapience or conciousness is required for personhood?

Who was the first to try to make anyone aware of the fact that an abortion meets the legal criteria for a non sexual child molestation?

Who before me was describing a child in the fetal stage of their life like that instead of Kowtowing to the pro-aborts and using their language to dehumanize them?

Who (before me) has even tried to set the record straight on what a pro-abort (by definition) really is?

If you think I'm just tooting my own horn here, you're wrong. I don't care what you think of me... You are also wrong when you say that new arguments are not being introduced.
